Ben Harper's career has skyrocketed from the early days of playing the tiny Mint in Los Angeles to the world's finest concert halls, theatres and festivals including the vast and muddy fields of Glastonbury, England, where he and his band played for more than 100,000 people. In that time, he has established himself as one of the world's most versatile and hard-working musicians - and one of its top concert draws. Ben has been touring behind his most recent release, "Both Sides of the Gun," since March 2006. His 2006 Summer US headlining tour was hailed as one of the top tours of the season and featured special guest Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley. The two frequently collaborated on the Bob Marley anthem "Get Up, Stand Up." "Both Sides of the Gun" gained advance praise from "Rolling Stone" as the four-star work of a "natural-born superstar...finding transcendence in everyday places." Entertainment Weekly called the album stellar. "Both Sides" boasted the highest chart entry of Harper's twelve-year recording career (No. 7 on the Billboard Top 200).
